    Thoughts on Kentucky Rifle............Joe Kindigs book

    I have Joe Kindigs book ' Thoughts on the Kentucky Rifle in it's Golden Age'

    A definitive book on the greatest masters of all.
    I'm sure some of you are aware of it.
    My question is, what is the comparable book for the Hawken Rifle?

    'Hawken Rifles, the Mountain Man's Choice' by John Baird would be a good start. Not on the same level as Kindigs.
    Good judgment comes from experience.
    Experience comes from poor judgment.

    That's about the only one I know of. Not in depth anaylisis by any means.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
